In a 2007 interview with PEOPLE, Wahler admits: “I did try drugs, but it was never my thing. It was alcohol, for sure. It would take me about 10 drinks before that other side came out. It’s like Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde.”

“I’m embarrassed as hell, but I really do not remember my arrests,” added Wahler, who did a stint with inpatient rehab in 2007. “They’re blackouts. And that’s scary.”
